About

Rouille is a Spanish egg-oil sauce similar to mayonnaise, often made by hand using a mortar and pestle. These crostini are very good floating in fish or vegetable soups. If you don’t want to use the raw egg yolk, go ahead and use the equivalent of a liquid commercial egg substitute.

Method

In a food processor, combine the peppers, garlic, orange zest, and salt. Process just until chopped. Add the egg yolk and puree until the mixture is smooth. With the machine running, gradually add the oil, processing until the mixture is thick. This rouille can be made up to 1 week ahead and refrigerated.
